It's Golden in OT!

Growing up in Southwestern Michigan, you are more than likely aligned with the Chicago Bears then your are with the Detroit Lions. Unless you grew up in the 70's,.... then we allow a little cheering for the Cowboys. With Romo and the boys taking a 1 yard bow and the Lions giving their all to a 'close but no cigar' season, the Bears are due their shuffle.


Since I can remember the moment I actually sat down and cheered on a team, it has been the Chicago Bears. Thanks to the antenna,.... in the early 70's, Chicago wins the hearts of the southwest in Michigan with Chigago progamming.

The last glimmer of hope with Bear ball came in the mid 80's with a decisive win for the Super Bowl Championship! It was as if the 'Black and Blue' league was once and for all getting their due. The 'Monster of Midway' became Americas team and we their cheering section.

Now the 'shuffle' once again is reborn with the number 2 defense in the NFL and the scary factor of Grossman; which can bring a team from superior to well,..... Gross. He has the potential to lead a team to a championship, or to the brink of despair. However, despite the 'Gross' factor, we have the golden boy in Gould! In other words,..if Grossman can get him close enough, he can knock it down. In overtime, Gould (pronounced GOLD) was every bit his worth. The Bears are in the NFC finals and looking at a Super Bowl birth. How sweet it is..... a chance for my blood pressure to soar and yelling at Grossman to reach an all time high. I say, BRING IT! After all, whether it be the Superbowl Shuffle or the leg of Gould, it's the Super Bowl all the same. Go Bears!!
